I would love to see the President enter the debate by citing the federalist papers and the Constitution.

To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.

Can you imagine his telling them to either obey the Constitution or get out of their robes?
